Welcome to the Optimise Hub

Feel free to look around!

Home

The Optimise Hub is here to help demystify the Industrial “Internet of Things” (IoT) and what it can mean to your business. Our mission is to build confidence in IoT and Industry 4.0 amongst SMEs in the UK Manufacturing sector to encourage the adoption of digital technologies to ensure UK businesses remain competitive and grow.

We are an organisation that seeks to bring businesses and other organisations together to achieve our mission and will work with any businesses wanting help and advice about Industry 4.0, Big Data and Machine to Machine communications.

We also have a programme of events to facilitate the sharing of ideas and to encourage collaboration and will be seeking to create collaborative projects that can develop novel Industry 4.0 applications and their underpinning technologies.

The Hub will ultimately build links between universities and business in order to enable innovative and cutting edge ideas to be converted into commercial market opportunities. Through this activity we will de-risk R&D opportunities at their earliest stage, and help to develop projects and ideas which can ultimately be prototyped and piloted either through collaborative funded projects or by startups and SMEs in the manufacturing sector.

We are delighted to announce that we have recently been awarded two EU funding programmes via the BEinCPPS project and Fortissimo to work with local companies to tackle some of their problems in keeping their manufacturing assets healthy and working to full capacity. Once we can release more details, we will so please check back for updates.
